This is why the heavens opened up early [1]

For the first time in 108 years, monsoon has hit the Capital this early. But though its onset has been premature, the rainfall has been very good this year and well distributed. Between June 1 and June 15, the overall rainfall across India has been 44% above normal. And in the northwestern zone, which includes Delhi, the overall rainfall has been 194% above normal during the same period.
